    Afternoon People!

    After my computer boots up I get a box appear on the screen that say`s Windows File protection. It scans my computer to, apparently, check that my files are in the original condition. Half way through the scan I get e message asking me to insert the windows xp disk because files from the dll are required for windows to run correctly. I have done this on more than one occasion. I have also clicked cancel when the scan starts and everything works fine. I suppose I have a few questions that I would like to ask.

    1 Why does this happen every time I turn the machine on?

    2 If I have a problem how can I put it right so that the said box stops appearing cause its starting to get on my nerves (it never used to do it!)? :mad:

    3 If I haven`t got a problem how can I turn Windows File Protection off?

    Regards
    Tich

    Me again! It`s ok folks I`ve sorted my problem.:D If anyone else has the same problem this is what I did.

    Start -> Run -> Type, sfc /scanonce

    Restart computer follow on screen instructions regarding inserting windows xp disc. Let scan complete then restart.
